Cocoa Brovaz - Memorial lyrics
Lookin out my window hypnotized by the rain In a trance reminicing bout the soldiers slain Fighting wars in the brain trying to maintain Hoping mama won't have to feel the pain Looking at a closed casket or a picture frame Even shorties that you banged won't forget your name Still feel strange how times do change We doing our thing and in our minds you remain As i uncap a 5th of henny for my soldiers that's a memory Thinking 'bout the fun times we had together Blazin' 'till the sunshine Drinkin' the cheap wine I know i never find a ? of the same kind But at the same time, i'm constantly writin' eulogies For my big homey locs and my loco g's Since '73 it seems d**h followed me to my man ?tyshan wells? Rest in peace Chorus Oh why oh why oh why It's always the good ones that have to die Oh why oh why oh why Bob marley die, ?jacob miller? die (repeat) Another day another burial Got you wondering 'bout the day when he bury you Tear drops stain the wally's that you rockin' On the block candles burn guns popin' I just came from the cemetery where my dog was buried Drop some buds in the earth to grow in they memory Thinkin' 'bout the fun times we had as fam Remembering the beef we got into but never ran I seen a kid get ate up by his own man one time Hid behind a car now look and duck and bust a ? On some harlem nights script But this some real life sh** Heard his scull split when you seen the slug hit I watched the vultures swarmin' Prayin' on his garments They stay robbin' dead men cuz they don't give 'em problems Heard the good die young be it by god or gun Paint my mural on the wall sayin' my job was done I shed tears when i hear news from my peers That my n***a shawn crady was no longer here Had me mad at my girl ready to take it to the world Drinkin' liquor 'till i'm damn near 'bout to 'url Got a j**el from my dog locked up in jail Told me son is in the essence resting All is well While you still here: accomplish your deads Cuz you never know when it's your time to leave Repeat chorus several times
